Sobe Deux shoulder shields are scaled umbrellas from 1.48-scale Hobbycraft Bf-109 fighter kits. In actual use, umbrellas shielded plane cockpit from blazing North African or Mediterranean climate. In mounting the shields, small hole was drilled near umbrella center, metal clothing pin super-glued into its shaft for a sturdy mount.
